Judith Susan "Judy" Sheindlin (née Blum; born October 21, 1942), better known as Judge Judy, is an American lawyer, judge, television personality, and author. Since 1996, Sheindlin has presided over her own successful Daytime Emmy Award winning reality courtroom series named after her, ''Judge Judy''.〔 Sheindlin passed the New York bar examination in 1965 and became a prosecutor in the family court system. In 1982 Mayor Ed Koch appointed her as a judge, first in criminal court, then later as Manhattan's supervising family court judge in 1986. It was reported in mid-2012 that Sheindlin was the highest paid television personality, making $123,000 per episode of ''Judge Judy'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Judge Judy Sheindlin Makes $123,000 A Day, Roughly $45M Salary And $110M Net Worth For 70-Year-Old )〕 or $45 million annually for the 52 days per year that she tapes her show.〔()〕 In October 2013 it was reported that Sheindlin was still the highest paid TV star, earning $47 million per year for ''Judge Judy'', which translates into just over $900,000 per workday. Sheindlin began celebrating her 20th anniversary presiding on ''Judge Judy'' on Monday, September 14, 2015. She is the longest serving judge or arbitrator in courtroom-themed programming history, a distinction that rewarded Sheindlin a place in the prestigious ''Guinness World Records'' on September 14, 2015. As ''Judge Judy'' boasts the longest individual production life of any court show, it is the first program in the judicial genre to reach 20 seasons without cancellation. == Early life and education == Sheindlin was born Judith Susan Blum on October 21, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents, Murray Blum, a dentist and Ethel Silverman. Her paternal grandfather, Jacob Blum, immigrated from Ukraine, while her paternal grandmother, Lena Mininberg, came from Russia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=December 14, 2008 )〕 She described her father as "the greatest thing since sliced bread" and her mother as "a meat and potatoes kind of gal."
